And you thought the first comPile of Gears of War 2 Epic Fails was it, didn't you? Well, there is more unfortunately, and I'm sure they'll keep pouring in. It seems like Gears of War 2 is the most glitch ridden Game EVER!!!
Before we get into part 2, here are the results from the poll "GOW2: Combustible Map Pack?".
GOW2: Combustible Map Pack?
Looks like the majority are willing to stick it out, waiting for a patch before giving Epic anymore of their hard earned cash for the 3 maps with a close second thinking the 3 maps are too pricey (Really only two maps and one old PC map).
It would be nice if Epic would acknowledge the fact that these problems do exist and that they are working around the clock to get a patch out to fix the multitudes of glitches, game bugs and lag issues.
Oh, and also, for sending out such a broken game and a month later asking gamers for more money for two maps and one old PC map, M$ and Epic should refund the money to the 75 that bought the maps and give them Free to all of us before everyone jumps ship.
My comPile of Gears of you know what, Glitches and more Part 2!
Infinite Lancer, Crab Walking, Levitating
This game is a glitchy mess. I have not seen anyone doing this Infinite Lancer yet but the crab walking I have, levitating or flymounting I have done myself without meaning to and died because of it a few times. I was trying to take cover with no health, but instead flew over the cover to the other side with the enemy having his way with me. Thanks Epic!
If the Infinite Lancer and crab walking glitch catches on, it could be the end of many playing this game.

Walking Dead / Dead Man Walking / Play Dead
Another game bug is when you down someone but they still appear to be standing and/or walking very slowly in one direction making you think you didn't down them.
I have also seen enemies laying flat on the floor up in their spawn with no Boomshield on the map. Is there another way to Play Dead without the shield?
I haven't seen Dead Man Walking while playing but here is a video for you.
Smoke and Frag Grenades
The strategy in Gears 2 is different than in the original Gears. Gears 2 you can now place proximity mines with your smoke that you spawn with or you can pick up ink or frag grenades off the map and place two at any given time in strategic places on the map. If you place a third the first one will blow up. What's funny is when an enemy doesn't know about placing too many and sets one off right near them blowing themselves up.
The problem many have at times is enemies walking right through them and not getting downed by the smoke when you might be expecting them to and they surprise you with a shotgun blast to the face when you should have been blasting them will downed.
Another thing seen often is escaping a frag that was thrown and running right over it without it taking you or the enemy out or even taking any damage. This has happened many times.
Smoke GlitchCheaters think of everything. They take their smoke, throw it down by their feet and it will send them backward into walls on Gridlock, behind a huge propane tank in the two story house on River, and the latest is smoking themselves into the security area on Security without hitting the button. What will they think of next?
Host advantage, Netcoding, and Client Disadvantage
Having a hard time taking out the host? Lag, latency and bullet lag.

No Quick MUTE
There are those times you go in alone when none of your friends are online and you get matched up with load obnoxious people that play load music in your ear, make loud annoying noises, racial slurs, profanity, annoying kids that shouldn't be allowed to play a M rated game, the list goes on.
What can you do? Well not much, there is no quick way to mute a person in GOW2 and with the laggy mini blade menu to find the player/players that you want to mute could cost you a round or two.
Way to go Epic!
